What's another way of saying 'playing God'?

or another phrase meaning the same thing?

Answer #1

Hmm that’s a very difficult question when you actually think about it. I’m not sure if there are any particular sayings for ‘playing God’ but if it helps here are ways of describing it:

someone supposedly taking on the role of God for human purposes. e.g: deciding who is to live or die in a situation where not everyone can be saved. However, take note that it is usually used in a way that someone should refrain from a controversial action (wikipedia)

So, I guess another way of saying ‘playing god’ could be ‘behaving as though they have authority over other people and/or what’s morally right/wrong.
